As part of the library’s mission to serve the community, and because we are a designated warming center where people can come to find safe refuge from extreme weather, the library has recognized an opportunity to provide some unique community services. Our Compassion Fund currently

provides vouchers for use at The Cafe to Glen Ellyn Walk-In Ministry
helps provide supplies for the Community Cupboard

To make a donation to the Compassion Fund, you can donate by check or use the Donate button below.

Community Cupboard

The Community Cupboard is a door-less cabinet in the lobby near the Library Services Desk that contains free items available to anyone who needs them. Available items vary depending on donations. The containers are intentionally not labeled, and the bins are clear so that people can identify the contents. People are encouraged to help themselves to items they need.

The Community Cupboard is totally donation based. No tax money is used to purchase the free items in the Community Cupboard. To donate items, please use the Glen Ellyn Public Library (GEPL) Community Cupboard Amazon wish list .
